Re: Keystone Use Cases and User Stores

 

Groups are independent of tenants.  A role reference can be used to link a
group to a tenant, much like it currently links and individual user to a
tenant.  For example I could give all users in the Nova Basic Admin group
the 'netadmin' role for Nova in tenant X.

I will not be available on the 28th but Guang can attend.

Thanks Jason - 

Thats already on our list of topics to discuss more broadly at the Folsom
design summit (http://wiki.openstack.org/KeystoneFolsomSummitTopics). The
etherpad has a great deal of detail, but I think it needs some conversation
needs happen as to how it related to the RBAC discussions that we had the
Essex design summit (etherpad at http://etherpad.openstack.org/canhaz). 

>From your user stories, it's not entirely clear what a "group" concept is
getting us that isn't already in tenant when you apply RBAC. I'd like to
understand that better. Are you available on IRC to chat sometime?

If it would be easier, I'd be happy to schedule it up as a topic of
conversation in a future keystone IRC meeting. The next meeting (the 21st -
http://wiki.openstack.org/Meetings/KeystoneMeeting), but I've added it to a
talk list. Would you be available to chat on IRC on the 28th?
